Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Provide programming that will bring the campus and local community together for shared experiences. Events in our presenting series will have a 20% increase in participation as compared to 2019's pre-Covid levels of engagement. Programming decisions will be influenced by feedback (via survey) from those who participated in programmatic offerings. 2: Minnesotans engage in O'Shaughnessy programming as students, artists AND patrons. We will ask participants from classes/workshops/performances if grew, changed or learned something from their experiences with us, as well as how we may deepen future opportunities for growth. We will document feedback.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our events brought the campus and local community together, and our outreach efforts successfully increased Minnesotan participation at our venue. We tracked first time attendance in our venue, conducted post performance surveys after every event, and made direct observations to evaluate our work. 2: Minnesotans grew, learned or changes because they attended our performance. We used post performance surveys and asked this exact question. Over 150 respondents indicated that they had been positively changed, grew, or learned something as a result of the performance.
